153: Marry Lu Qianqian!

Huangfu Rui was criticized by Huangfu Jing and immediately showed a face full of anger.

The words "taking care of your sister-in-law" in particular provoked him.

"I... you have the nerve to say that. I asked you to go to Liumian Prefecture to help me take care of your sister-in-law, but what about you?"

"She's been taken care of to the point of becoming someone else's wife, and have I said anything?"

Huangfu Jing became furious upon hearing this. "What, are you blaming me now? If you're so capable, go snatch her back yourself! Lu An'an got together with Feng Ming, so you blame me; then why didn't Qianqian run off with Feng Ming?"

"You're just incompetent and lack charm, yet you push the responsibility onto me."

Huangfu Rui was so angry he was huffing and puffing. "Fine, fine, fine, you're the charming one. I'll just wait and see if you can marry Lu Qianqian back!"

Feng Ming was sharing a Cultivation Technique with Feng Mian when he heard Huangfu Rui and Huangfu Jing arguing, which felt somewhat inexplicable to him.

What are these two brothers doing? Don't they already have the Cultivation Technique?

Elder Pan couldn't be bothered with their nonsense. Seeing them start to argue, he spoke up: "Today's main purpose is to tour the Sect. Everyone, gather and set out; we will head to other places shortly."

Upon hearing this, everyone left the Library Pavilion one after another and, led by Elder Pan, rushed toward the Spirit Mountain.

Actually, Feng Ming had already heard Lu Qianqian's introduction to the main places they were visiting today when he came to report.

Now he was following along to take a look and scout the area.

Tomorrow, the Sect would hold a baseline test to check the strength of the new entry Disciples.

Three months later, there would be a Sect Competition to select the top ten most outstanding Disciples.

Unless there were subsequent changes—for instance, if someone's strength improved by leaps and bounds—otherwise...

Essentially, the top ten from the competition in three months would be the top ten participating in the Liangzhou Trial a year later!

Feng Ming nodded as he listened. If that was the case, they had to move a bit faster, or they might not finish the tour before dark.

While they were talking, the group arrived in front of the mountain.

At this time, most Disciples were touring on their own, so it was clearly visible that there was only one person Cultivating on the entire Spirit Mountain.

Moreover, it was an incredibly beautiful girl.

Many people felt admiration at first sight and developed the intention to make her acquaintance.

This person was none other than Jiang Shuwan, who hadn't even gone home yesterday.

She was focused on Cultivating and had no idea so many people had arrived outside.

Elder Pan began to introduce the place slowly: "This will be the main place for the Disciples of the Martial Peak to Cultivate in the future, but Cultivating here also requires points."

"The channels for obtaining them were mentioned before; you can do missions or exchange Spirit Stones directly. However, I must remind you that tomorrow is the baseline assessment."

"At that time, everyone will have an idea of their own strength, so students planning to participate in the Liangzhou Trial must hurry up and Cultivate."

At this moment, Huangfu Rui, who was nearby, spoke up: "Elder, we are all touring, yet this student is up there Cultivating. That's not appropriate, is it?"

"Does she not need to follow the school's rules?"

With someone taking the lead, others immediately began to discuss it.

Indeed, regarding rules, once one person fails to follow them without being punished...

Others would follow suit. Wouldn't things be in chaos by then?

However, Huangfu Rui was destined to have miscalculated. Elder Pan glanced at Jiang Shuwan and said indifferently, "When school starts, one indeed cannot Cultivate, but this person is an exception."

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this and asked curiously, "An exception? How is she an exception? Since she's come to the Sect, she's a Disciple of the Sect and should be treated equally."

Elder Pan then spoke: "She is a Disciple of the Sect, but she is not just a Disciple of the Sect; she is also Elder Feng's wife."

"When an Elder's wife Cultivates is not something you can control."

Huangfu Rui was instantly silenced by the retort.

Yet he felt somewhat indignant. "Is this a case of 'when one man attains the Dao, even his pets ascend to heaven'? Just an Elder, and he has such great power?"

Elder Pan nodded. "If you want to understand it that way, there's nothing wrong with it. If you were some Elder's wife, you could do it too."

Huangfu Rui was fuming.

Wife?

How could he, a grown man, be someone's wife?

Being an Elder's man was more like it.

Feng Ming laughed when he saw this. Elder Pan's personality was quite to his taste.

Huangfu Rui was looking for trouble and had now made himself miserable.

Seeing Feng Ming still laughing, Huangfu Rui shouted angrily.

"What's so funny? Once the opening day is over, there will be no place for her here. Then, whoever's spot it is will be theirs. Never mind your wife, it wouldn't matter even if your mother came!"

"I don't believe an Elder's wife has the privilege to snatch someone else's spot."

Elder Pan nodded.

"Indeed!"

She then looked toward Feng Ming.

"After tomorrow, you and your wife will also have to exchange points to obtain a Cultivation spot."

Hearing this, Feng Ming laughed, "Then starting tomorrow, we won't be using this Spirit Mountain."

Elder Pan looked puzzled. "Not using it?"

Feng Ming said with a smile, "I've discussed it with the Sect Master. I will donate a new Spirit Gathering Formation, the kind that works even better than the Spirit Mountain, so starting tomorrow, the Spirit Mountain won't be needed."

As he spoke, Feng Ming flipped his palm, and a set of Formation Plates for a Spirit Gathering Formation immediately emerged.

Everyone was shocked to see the Formation Plates in Feng Ming's hand.

"My god, is he that overbearing? This would cost a million Spirit Stones at the Hua Clan Merchant House. As expected of the Feng Clan's Young Master, he is truly too generous."

"The key point is that he's donating it directly. Is this the world of the wealthy?"

"Wait, if the Spirit Mountain isn't used, how will the positions within the Spirit Gathering Formation be divided?"

When this critical question was raised, everyone looked at Feng Ming.

Even Elder Pan looked curious.

Feng Ming spoke slowly: "Although I say it's a donation, I am also a person of this Sect and need to Cultivate. So, if I charge a little money and keep two front positions, that shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"For the rest, just like the previous Spirit Mountain, one point equals one Spirit Stone, and you pay according to the position."

After Feng Ming finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was the same as before; the pressure wasn't great, and they could afford it.

Feng Ming continued: "I will collect fees first. Once I've recovered my principal cost, this Formation will belong entirely to the Sect. During the fee collection period, I will set the prices for the positions."

Hearing this, no one felt anything was wrong; instead, they felt it was very reasonable.

Feng Ming was a businessman. Although it was a donation, he still needed his capital back.

Recovering the cost before gifting it was perfectly fine.

At least for the Disciples, it was so.

Whether their points or Spirit Stones went to the Sect or to Feng Ming wouldn't affect them.

The only thing that would have an effect was the price of these positions.

As long as it wasn't ridiculously expensive, it was acceptable.
